In one split-second of an overtime period that was getting more frenetic by the shift, Rangers forward Carl Hagelin, the puck at the end of his stick, spotted just a tiny open sliver of net. Marc-Andre Fleury, the Pittsburgh goaltender, had given Hagelin one opportunity.

So Hagelin swept at the puck as hard as he could, and it went past Fleury at 10 minutes 52 seconds of overtime, toppling the Penguins, 2-1, and wrapping up the first-round Stanley Cup playoff series for the Rangers, four games to one.
